The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making peut of the same.

. I, TnnMAs Q. HALL, of Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have' invented certain Improvements in Bedstends, of which the following,y is a. specification.

Description of the Accompanying Drawing.

Figure 1 is n top or plan view oi' n hedstend embpdymg my Invention.

Figure 2 is ntmnsvcree vertical section of thesnme.

General Description.

A is the-head end, B the foot end, and G the side rails of the hedsteafd, which may beconstrncted in any approved manner, except that-,for the purpose of add ing 'the supplement, as herein proposed, I set the rails O into the cerner post, so that their lower edges shall be as much above thelower edge of the head and foot ends as isrequired for t-he supplementary bedstead composed of the henri und foot pieces D E and side' rails F, as shown in fig. 2.

The end pieces D E of thesnpplementnry bedstend have grooves to receive tongues a, projecting from the heed'nnd font rails of the principal bedsteed, and are also provided with four feet, G, which should also hn've casters when the principal bedstend hns them.

`When the principal and supplementary bedstends nre constructed, arranged, mid combined, in the mnuner here shown, the supplementary hedstend may be drown out on either side, thus adapting it to any desred position in the room, and it muy also be entirely withdrawn and used in another piu-t of the room, in-f dependent of the principal bedstend. When close'd up, the whole present-s the appearance of and occupies no more space than an ordinary bedstend, with the lower edgeof the side mils in the seme horizontal plane with the end rails. l

` I do not make any claim to making the bedsteed double, in itself considered, as this may be seen in many fornisof lounges.

I claim as imy invention l The supplement-ary extension and detachable bedsteanh composed of the pin-ts D E F G, in combination with the principal bedstend,nll constructed and nrranged substantially ns set forth.
